How many students have taken the CPNE from Excelsior College and failed their first try?

I have not seen any recent stats, but 4-5 years ago it was like a 65% first try pass rate.
I passed 1st try. 3 others I know passed it their first try. I don't personally know anyone who has failed.
There has been alot of changes. 4 out of the 5 students failed this weekend and one of the student was their second time. It is a 63% failure rate the first time.
1 site on 1 weekend does not make it all a 63% failure rate, only your group.
I did it a little over 2 years ago and 4/4 passed (I was my first try, the other 3 their second).
Sorry you did not pass, but you need to take a deep breath, regroup, study and do it again. You now have a better idea what to expect, so can prepare better.

I failed my first time, in Utica. I passed four months later, again, in Utica. The fail was my fault, and I own it. Stupid nerves. One of my care plans was not strong enough to get me in a room. Fail. Then, I forgot to ID my patient. Fail. I had it together last month, and had my care plans down. I passed.

Last I heard it is 54% pass rate for 1st timers. My weekend 4 out of 6 passed. We all used Sheri Taylor's program.
I used Sheri's program too. Online and the workshop. I also got her book on Amazon.
I passed at Utica too
Where is Utica? Did you pass with sheri taylors program?
